+1. Both the HP page and the Juniper page provide details of how to
obtain an updated version of their respective products that includes the
fixes.

If you really want to do this by hand (not recommended) then the
starting point is downloading the 6.0.26 src distribution or checking
out the 6.0.26 tag and building from source.

It is. And there are quite a few vulnerabilities fixed since 6.0.26.

JasperReports Server is not significantly tied to the version of
Tomcat on which it is bundled. I recently set up a JRS server by
downloading their "WAR installer" and just installed it myself onto
whatever version I wanted (Tomcat 7 at the time).

Can you upgrade to 5.5? This uses Tomcat 7. Likely to have many of your patches covered. 

Upgrading a bundled Tomcat would require you taking on some testing effort, and may affect your product support from the vendor. Safer to follow the vendors upgrade path.

Is the Apache tomcat instance you are using bundled with the applications
above (from HP, Juniper)? If so, you should get an updated release from
those vendors, as they should have bundled a higher version of Tomcat that
resolves the issues.

You can cross-check your list of CVE vulnerabilities against Tomcat
versions at this page:

http://tomcat.apache.org/security.html

Looks like 6.0.37 is the latest version of Tomcat 6.

Cheers, Ben
